Pupils make crossing the roads<br />
around Springston School safer<br />
SPRINGSTON SCHOOL pupils<br />
have taken to the street to learn<br />
more about road safety.<br />
Police school community<br />
officer, Constable Rick Groen,<br />
was instructing pupils on road<br />
safety at a kea crossing outside<br />
the school recently.<br />
Pupils have been learning how<br />
to operate patrols across kea<br />
crossings. Taking part in the<br />
school patrol involves members<br />
to extend stop signs onto the<br />
road in both directions, which<br />
signal approaching drivers to<br />
stop.<br />
Once the traffic is slowing or<br />
has stopped, the patrol signals to<br />
waiting pedestrians that it’s safe<br />
to cross the road.<br />
Patrol members undergo a<br />
full day’s training, comprising<br />
of theory in the classroom<br />
followed by practical work on<br />
the street.<br />
Once qualified, patrollers are<br />
given a refresher course after<br />
two to three months and stay<br />
with the patrol for a minimum<br />
of one, and up to three, years.<br />
